In this case, we discuss hypothesis of links between his depression and his limbic encephaliti

<i>Cis</i> P-tau is induced in clinical and preclinical brain injury and contributes to post-injury sequelae

Induction of the cis form of phosphorylated tau (cis P-tau) has previously been shown to occur in animal models of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and blocking this form of tau using antibody was beneficial in a rodent model of severe TBI. Here the authors show that cis P-tau induction is a feature of several different forms of TBI in humans, and that administration of cis P-tau targeting antibody to rodents reduces or delays pathological features of TBI
